While the crew overall might not be as interesting as Titan's or Aventine's, characters like Dygan and Choudhurry did manage to convince me to start reading the current line of next generation novels.

But, its not something only Enterprise suffers from. Most of the senior staff in the new DS9 needs fleshing out. The majority of them, other than Blackmer, haven't gotten more than a handful of lines in the three or so books they've been in.
